Lab Testing

Lab testing is necessary for some of the services provided at Integrated Skin Care. Not all of our services require testing. We offer all standard lab tests, as well as some different types of testing.

Standard Lab work

These are standard blood, saliva and urine tests preformed at Quest or Lab Corp. The Dr. orders

these tests during your visit.

Food Allergy Testing

The ALCAT Test identifies cellular reactions to over

350 foods, chemicals and herbs. These inflammatory

reactions are linked to chronic health problems like

obesity and diabetes, as well as skin, heart, joint,

and digestive disorders. We also offer a new line of innovative, physician created Salivary Hormone Test Profiles.

Telomere Testing

What are telomeres?

Telomeres are sections of DNA at the end of each

chromosome
that serve as a cap to your genetic

material. Every time a cell
replicates, its telomere

will become shorter. Shorter telomeres imply a

shorter life span for a cell.

What effect does telomere length have on my

health and
wellness?

Age adjusted telomere length is the best method

to date to
assess biological age using structural

analysis of chromosomal change in the
telomere.

Serial evaluation of telomere length is an indicator

of how
rapidly one ages relative to a normal population. Therapies directed at
slowing the loss of telomere length may slow aging and age-related diseases.
